[Those familiar with the Fatal Frame games who play them in Prospero should recognize this face.

It is the face of a young girl huddled in the corner of a dark building with the phone clutched in her hand.

Around her, there are some broken doll arms, as well as a few said, dolls scattered around her body with blood smeared on some.

She doesn't know where she is, much less realizes that she's no longer on the island. If anything, a faint sniffle can be heard from the girl.

She's in a bit of a shock.]

Yeah, my roommate and I.

[He's going to papa bear her forever. No boyfriends til college.]

Told you I have one. Don't worry. He's a stupid beansprout, but he's nice. Just stupid.

Is he ugly? [Ayako will often ask this question until she is fully rehabilitated. She is feeling a bit better already though, just by being here.]

[He's kind of figured out that by "ugly", she means ugly on the inside.]

...No. Just a moron.

... Okay.

[All the cars, all the people surrounding them -- She didn't like it. There were way too many people, and she was beginning to sink into Kanda's clothing to hide herself from the crowd and loud noises.]

[Kanda kneels down and picks her up, easy as if she were light as a feather. You're safe, kiddo.]

Come on. It's quieter at "home."

[He'll carry her back if she doesn't argue. :|a]

[You know, she'd be slightly surprised right now if she wasn't so used to the other You back home doing that to her. So, if anything, she looks kind of happy, since it brings back nostalgia.]

Is the city always this busy? [She kind of lived in a small island, so. This place was huge. ... AND FULL OF MODERN DAY TECHNOLOGY

MUST TOUCH AND BREAK EVERYTHING]

Sometimes busier. Yeah.

[L-lmao oh goodie. Housebreaking rules will be added to the list.]

Not used to it, huh?

No. I lived on a small island, so there weren't a lot of people...

[Time to enforce all the rules on Ayako, because there were no rules for her.] It's not like I was able to leave my room either.

Hmph. Well. If you wanna leave, just let me know, alright? City's not safe for a kid by herself, but we'll go wherever.

... Really?

I said it's alright, so it's alright.

...

[Looking down, she can't help but ask...] Why are you being so nice to me?

...Because.

[He hesitates, then decides on the truth.]

You remind me of someone I knew, long ago... he and I were stuck in a science lab, with no one but scientists allowed near us. I couldn't help him. But I can help you.

[Definitely sounded familiar. A familiar situation back home -- Which quite frankly, she didn't want to go back to. Not with what was happening there and also the fact she'd be locked in that damn room again.]

You're a kind person. [It was rare for Ayako to really compliment someone when she knew they weren't being genuine. But Kanda -- She felt like Kanda was being genuine about it. Which made her broken smile appear again, because she really didn't know what else to show. It was hard for her to show anything else, because she was just.

Felt like she couldn't express anything.] I don't think I deserve it.

[Now that she does look back and look at all the things she did... Did she really deserve him being so nice to her?]

It's not a matter of "deserving" or "not deserving". You're just a kid-- if you've made mistakes before, no matter how bad, there's always time to learn from them, and make up for them.

[Just a kid... Huh. She never really thought of herself that way.]

... [Biting down on her lip. She felt a foreign emotion popping up again and didn't know how to handle it really well, much less in front of Kanda.]

I just want to be whole again...

Hn. Then we'll work on that. There's time.

I can't go home, right?

We're looking for a way back. Just haven't found it yet.

...

Do you want to go back home? [Curious is all.]
